Title: Network Connectivity and Remote Access
Course: CTS 2307 Windows Management > Section: Module 3

Introduction

Networking Windows computers requires a knowledge of protocols and how to configure them to provide access to resources while maintaining security. The original IPv4 protocol was developed long ago and it did not provide the security or support for large scale network implementations such as the Internet. A new design known as IPv6 has been slated to replace IPv4 and it has been specifically designed to support unlimited network growth as well as enhanced security. Windows supports both versions of Internet Protocol network provisioning and the process differs in design as well as implementation. In this module you will learn the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, configure subnetting, manage security using the Windows Firewall, and configure secure remote access.
